I aimlessly stare at these cubicle walls I reflect on my life, the dullness of it all Life is a dead end, no family, no friends Another cog in the machine, will it ever end? In the spur of the moment, the thought came to mind A completely mad notion, to which I resigned The thought filled my mind, I had to catch my breath A game of cat and mouse, but a matter of life and death I took off across this country, with you hot on my tail The game is on now and I can’t afford to fail A gun in my lap and it’s too late now to quit As the words come to mind "tag, you're it." This is a thrill that I’ve never felt before It’s a stark contrast to my previous life, such a bore I’m walking the thin line between life and the abyss My blood’s pumping harder, with every shot that you miss No time to look back, onwards I must go How this all will end, I do not know Only thinking in the moment, no room to breathe I will bleed you dry, gonna leave you without reprieve I ran across this country, with you hot on my tail The game is on now and I can’t afford to fail There’s a gun in my lap, too late now to quit As the words come to mind "tag, you're it." A glimpse in the mirror, a pedal to floor I’d expect no less, I’d expect no more My brow drips with sweat as the engine roars I feel alive, what else could I ask for? Yeah! On the run for weeks, this ain’t no fairytale I gotta keep moving, I can’t stay on rails Never one to spend my time trying to make waves My only motivation is a cold, shallow grave Eventually I stop, nowhere else to go In this remote town, with nobody that I know Our guns are out the window, both raised high ‘Cause it’s now time to live or it’s now time to die I ran across this country, with you hot on my tail The game is underway and I can’t afford to fail A gun in my hand, too late now to quit As the words come to mind "tag, you're it." And as I raise my gun and a breath I inhale My last breath on earth should I fail I think to myself, bereft of sadness The most fun I had was born from madness I ran across this country, with you hot on my tail The game is over now and we’ve both failed, yeah Two pools of blood, I realise this is it As we both come to realise the game is forfeit I’m cast back to those cubicle walls I miss the cycle, the dullness of it all No one will remember, no family, no friends Another number in a book, this is the end

Dark Room 03:38
I sit alone in this windowless room No light gets in, no sun, no moon It gives me time to think as I sit in the gloom Of why I can't get you out of my dark room Your presence haunts me everywhere I go What I did to you, no one can know Manipulated, crushed, beaten, abused You disappeared into my personal tomb What have I done, what did I do I ponder these thoughts within the walls of this room Of why you linger, these thoughts of you Will haunt me forever within my dark room The memory still rings clear and true As does this haunting ghost of you I feel you following wherever I roam I feel you within the walls of my home I can't face what happened that night Your bright, shining eyes once again cloud my sight Nothing could have saved you, no stars, no moon You slipped away, you disappeared into the gloom What have I done, what did I do I ponder these thoughts within the walls of this room Of why you linger, these thoughts of you Will haunt me forever within my dark room What have I done, what did I do?

Insurrection 05:13
We crawl, we run, we fight, we bleed These are necessary evils in our fight to be free Many a bullet fired, and much blood on the ground We're in too deep, no room to back down We fight for those who fell victim to your evil In the name of the fallen, we’ll call it equal I’ll assure you, we won’t hold back Your defences will fall under our relentless attack Don’t test us We’ll take you down Don’t test us We’ll destroy your crown (X2) You once ruled this city through misery and bloodshed Well all that power must have gone to your head We broke free of your shackles, you’ve no hope for redemption Answer for your crimes, through our insurrection This war rages on, in the streets We push hard against you, and the blood runs past our feet We no longer know, which sides blood soaks the floor We've long since stopped caring, as we fight evermore Don’t test us We’ll take you down Don’t test us We’ll destroy your crown (X2) You once ruled this city through misery and bloodshed Well all that power must have gone to your head We broke free of your shackles, you’ve no hope for redemption You will answer for your crimes, through our insurrection To the doors of your citadel, our army will fight We'll fight to the top, and for your crimes we'll indict But there'll be no fair trials, no jury, no pretence My gun will be the judge, and the bullet, your sentence Don’t test us We’ll take you down Don’t test us We’ll destroy your crown (X2) We'll never stop and we'll never relent You can call us criminals but we'll never repent Moving closer to the light, from the darkness we're free Harness that fire, that rage and sing with me Hey! (Hey!) Hey! (Hey!) Hey! (Hey!) Hey! (Hey!) Hey! (Hey!) Hey! (Hey!) Hey! (Hey!) Yeah!

Anti-Citizen 02:43
Grab your flag and hold it high Pledge your allegiance, the time is nigh Take to the streets with your head held high Get your fists in the air, I wanna hear your battle cry Out of the dirt, our army has arisen Your people; no longer imprisoned This is war now, you're with us or with them So step up now, become an Anti-Citizen You kicked us and beat us around like a dog You spat in our faces as we lay on our back What you didn't realise with each of your attacks Is that if we’re dogs, we're dogs that bite back Out of the dirt, our army has arisen Your people; no longer imprisoned This is war now, you're with us or with them So step up now, become an Anti-Citizen Through the blood and tears our army will rise We’ll pay the ultimate price with our sacrifice It’s time to pick a side, yeah it’s either us or them So get up, grab your weapon, become an Anti-Citizen
